SecretMethod70's Featured Track of the Week Sep 2 - Sep 8, 2007



Something a little different this week. I'm not generally a fan of rap, but Chicago's Lupe Fiasco brings a refreshing perspective to the genre. It's worth reading the lyrics as you listen:

To the Best of Our Knowledge did an interview with Lupe Fiasco regarding "Hip-Hop & Islam" on 06/24/2007. To hear it, click the "listen" link near the top of the page. It begins about 13:00 into the program and is about 12:00 long. (If you don't want to install Realplayer, you might like to know about Real Alternative.) If you want to hear the extended version of the interview (without post-production such as background music), the link to the mp3 can be found underneath the list of books on the page.
